111 •Ag ILL ARK E AND CODIMZUCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Inactivity prevails in discount circles, where business is almost entirely suspended. The preva lent idea that now the position of the Bank of Eng land has been further strengthened by a large daily influx of gold, and that the authorities, having due regard to their own interest, must reduce their rate tomorrow, is alone the cause of the quietude expe rienced in the Money Market. The charges are so W:de, And so greatly below the official minimum, that it is irnpoiible to quote any figure as represent ing tie average term for the negotiation of com mercial bills. The failure of Messrs Darby and Co, wholesale grocers, of Little 'Fewer-street, has been announced. The debts are estimated at about £BO,OOO, and the liquidation, it is supposed, will prove favourable. The accountants are Messrs Hart, Brothers, and Rayles, who have been engaged to prepare a state- Merit for the creditors. A furtheer sum of £54,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Notice has been given that the share list of the Colonial Trading Company will close, for London and the country, on the 14th inst., and for the Con tinent on the 15th. The directors of the London Bank of Mexico and South America have made a call of £5 per share Payable in t wo i nstalments of £ 2 lOs each on or be fore the 29th r li v el inPt., and 29th December respec ,li the Lond on an d C oun t y Bak and Alliance an Y at k • A special meeting of the shareholders has has also been convened for the purpose of obtaining san ction to iecrease the capital of the company.

To the late Lord Mayor his lordship begged to offer his congratulations. After hav ing served his term of office he was about to retire into ' comparative privacy, but during the whole time he had. displayed everything that could belong to a patriotic citizen and upright magistrate. His Lordship further remarked that he felt assured that although ceasing io occupy a very important position he would still discharge more public duties that remained to him, and that he would continue to deserve the approbation and meet with the sympathy in the discharge of those a hich he had hitherto experienced Aldermen LAWRENCE bowed his acknowledgments. The LORD MAYOR was then swore. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render into her Majesty a full account :of tho receipts on accJuut of the Crown during his mayoralty, and to "behave himself properly," according to the old style of the oath, whilst he did so. The other formalities having been gono through, the Recorder invited the judges to the banquet at the Guildhall this evening. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder and the other officers of the City then withdrew, and paes ing through the other c - ..urts, the Lord Mayor, through the Recorder, invited the judges presiding to the banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order as coming. The Ballot Society. —Dr. Cumming and the Great Millenium. At the Sheriffs' Court yesterday, in the case of Oliver v. Bontems, which has been referred to Mr Bradon, registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, Mr Buchanan, on the part of defendant, who is the honorary secretary to the Ballot Society, applied to have the award of the abitrator wade an order of court. His Honour (.Nlr Commissioner Kerr)—Do you apply for costs ? Buchanan—Oh, no. You Honour will remember that the plaintiff ought to recover for services alleged to have been rcn lered to the Ballot Society, but it was proved that the defendant never gave any authority. The arbi trator found in favour of the the defendant on every ground. His Honour—Do you apply for the costs of the arbi tration? Mr Buchanan—There arc not any. B is How ur—That is very surprising. Mr Buchanan—The plaintiff is a poor man, and Mr Wrandon declined to charge him anything, Mr Bontems declines to ask for any costs, and I have waived my fee. His Honour—All this is very extraordinary. You must not let the public know of this or it will create quite a sen sation, (A laugh.) Mr Buchanan—l may add something more, and that is that Mr Bontems has instructed me to give plaintiff £3 :as a present to him. His Homur—Arbitrators declining their costs and attor nies waiving their fees I If this gets to the ears of Dr Cumming he will fancy that the great millenium is at hand. (Great laughter.) Mr Buchanan—Oh I it must not be taken as a precedent. Mr Osgood (registrar)—The best plan will be to make the order for defendant without costs. I\lr Buchanan—Yes. I think that will do. The order was then made as agreed. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE F. G. LEE, This bankrupt was described as at Fitzroy street, Fitzroy square, clerk in holy orders, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The balance-sheet shows, debtor to creditors unsecured, £21,087; debts secured, £2,000; liabilities in respect of others, £1,154 ; property given up, £OOO ; property in the hands of creditors, £7,600. Mr Evans, for the assignees, read the evidence given on a f9rmer occasion. He said that the principal creditor re sided in Scotland, and the bankrupt had property in Eng land. As to the property held by the creditors, consisting of a church, he was afraid that the bankrupt was too san guine as to its value, and it would be satisfactory if it rea lised one-half the amount. The bankrupt had built the church partly from his own funds and partly from money borrowed, and all the difficulty arose from the bishop for some reason h sving refined to consecrate the church. The bankrupt, in examination, now made claims for sti pend alleged to be due from the churchwardens, but he did not conceive he had any legal document by which he could recover it. There were other points on which he had doubts as to his rights. His Honour said they better all be inserted in the ac counts, and see if anything would result to the creditors. ML Evans did nut offer any opposition, as there was no ground fur imputing anything against the bankrupt than having been over-sanguine. His Honour concurred, and said the bankrupt was entitled to his discharge.

The 9th of November from time immemorial has been a great day for the city of London, notwithstanding that it obstructs business to a very great extent. Still the Lord Mayor's show is looked upon as one of the institutions of the country, and to speak against it: is little less than treason. This morning, big with the fate of turtles, opened bright and brilliant upon the good and loyal city ; civic functionaries and gaudily attired footmen were heard to exchange mutual congratulations upon being able to ex hibit all their finery with the advantage of a November sun. Long before the city had begun to wear its wonted bustle and activity, the carpenter's hammer was sending forth its noisy note of preparations, and throughout the line of procession ricketty wiLdows were being secured, dusty banners unfurled, and stout barriers erected to stop the progress of intrusive vehicles. The Mansion House was of course the scene of much commotion, and during the whole of the morning policeman, city marshals, and lively flunkeys, with huge bunches of flowers and unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a dreadful state of excitement, whilst at the various ward halls, beadles, whose shabby-genteel coats were con cealed beneath heavy cloaks trimmed with gold lace, were furbishing up their wands of office and inspecting the various banner bearers who were to take part in the all important pageant, At an early hour the new Lord Mayor was duly installed in his civic mansion, and his ,Lordship commenced the duties and ceremonies of the day by putting his cook's abilities to the test and entertaining his friends and officers of the household at a sumptuous breakfast. The well-known venerable coach, drawn by six high spirited steeds, and caparisoned in massive crimson trap pings, was then order( d to the door, and his Lordship attired in his robes of office, decorated with the gold chain, and attended by his Chaplain, the Recorder, the Sword and Mace Bearer, entered the antiquated vehicle and drove off to Guildhall, followed by the Sheriffs. Hera fur the first time was Alderman Hale welcomed and cheered as Lord Mayor of London, and having partaken of luncheon—eating and drinking forming the principal and certainly the most agreeable feature in the cere mony—his Lordship announced it to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be arranged in the order in which it was to move. Accordingly the City Marshal set to work, and with the aid of a body of policemen, after some difficulty, succeeded in his task.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, bis lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic party took a standing position in front of the bench reserved for the Queen's counsel. The RECORDER, in addressing the court, said he had the honour to introduce to their lordships the Right Hon. Warren Stormes Hale, who had been selected by his fellow citizens of London to fill the cffice of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and her:gracious Majesty ratified the choice of the citizens. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give a short history of the career of the new Lord Mayor, stating that he had for many years carried on business in the City of London, during which time he had wcn the good opinion of his follow citizens. He had for a con siderable time been their representative in the Court of Common Council, and on the death of the alderman of his ward (Coleman-street) he was unanimously elected to fill the vacant office. He hadj served the office of sheriff, and at the termination cf his year of cffiee received a vote from tho livery, and he felt assured that he would not be found wanting at the post of honour to which he had been elected, Tho learned gentleman having also intimated that the late I,rd Mayor, who had so well fulfilled his office during the past year, was in attendance, concluded by presenting the new Lord May or in the usual form to take the oath. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in reply, said he had to con gratulate the Lord Mayor on having attained that honour which the learned Recorder had expatiated on in his address to the Court. Ho appeared there as the First Magistrate of the greatest city in the empire, to claim cer tain rights which belonged to the peat city of which he was the chief authority. He (the Lord Chief Baron) did not look upon the present as an idle ceremony, as it was in reality a proceeding to claim and to retain those privileges which had existed from time immemorial. He joiced to hear the account the learned Recorder had IN RE SMITH. This bankrupt was a baker at Hackney, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge, Mr W. R. Buchanan did not oppose for the assignees, but Mr Brough, for soveral creditors, asked for a goods, cash, and deficiency account, as the debts amounted to £272 to unsecured creditors, and the whole of his property had been made over to other creditors, but for valuable consideration. An adjournment was accordingly ordered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH_STREET.

UNPROVOKED ATTACK UPON STRANGERS. —Charles East, a powerful fellow, was brought before Mr Arnold charged with three most unprovoked aesaults upon different persons. - William Aldridge, a respectable-looking young man, said that he and a friend went last night into the Prince of Wales' Tavern, Exeter. streat, Chelsea, to get some refresh. ment. Defendant, another man and a woman, were also in the house, and one of them dropped a key on the floor. Complainant seeing the key on the round, and thinking that he might have dropp e d it, felt in his pocket, and finding his own safe, remarked a l oud that it was s i ngu l ar th e t wo keys were so much alike, li e had no sooner d o ne so th an g defendant or the other man seized him, and held a hand over his eyes, and when he endeavoured to remove this he was struck by the defendant violently and followed with great fury, when he endeavoured to escape. But for the interference of others, he would have been most seriously ill treated. James Collins, an artisan perfect ly unconnected with either party, said ho was merely passing at the time, and without any provocation was attacked and struck twice by the defendant. William Got,clyer said he was with Aldridge, and con firmed his statement as to the beginning of the attack. There was nothing whatever done to provoke the defendant, and when he attacked Aldridge 'witness merely endeavoured ad nothing what ever occurred except what . from his fury. Defendant struck witness ytt to l‘ u ipcire h ro have stated e s ehn t li a dtm t l—H y e d about the key before defendant attacked you. Aldridge—Nothing whatever. I was very much surprised at the suddenness of the attack, and so was my friend. Defendant said he had been drinking so freely that he could not remember what had occurred. He was very sorry that anytLing had happened. Mr Arnold—You are charged with committing three perfectly unprovoked assaults upon strangers. It was not to be permitted that persons were to be knocked about viiih impunity in this way, and I shall commit you for 6 weeks to hard labour. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT. —George Gilbert , a strange looking man, about 40 years of age, with a large black beard and moustache, was brought before Mr Paget charged with assaulting James Robert Duffield. The complainant, whose mouth was cut and swollen, and who could with difficulty articulate, said he was doorkeeper to Mr Sands, who kcpt a photographic shop on Tower-hill. Last night a boy interfered with him and made a noise. The boy also made an attempt to break up some photo graphic specimens. He ran after the boy, who fell. Ile took a stick from him, brolo it up and threw the pieces over the railings into the ,Tower-moat. Ile had no sooner done so than the prisoner stepped up and struck him a viulent blow on his mouth which eatted him to stagger, and he bled profusely. A bystander said it was a shame, and the prisoner immediately repeated the blow and knocked him down. The people interfered and gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the com plainant said be did not ill use the boy. lle only threatened him and broke his stick, here on Monday for being d runk and in ' a p able and I did- Mr Paget—By ill-using the com p lainant. You were charged you. It is a pity I did so. if I had punished you then you would not have been hero now, The prisoner said he bad a wife and four children, and was five miles away from home. Mr Paget—That is no reason you should assault a man on Tower-hill. Tile prisoner said he recollected a boy-mob on Tower-bill, but did not recollect striking any one. He lost all his money on Saturday night. Mr Paget said the prisoner was a drunken, violent, and disorderly man, who saw a disturbance last night, and, without provocation, struck a man in a brutal manner and injured his lips. He sentenced the prisoner to be impri• soned 11 days and kept to hard labour. The Convict Muller. Up to last evening Franz Muller, now ruder sentence of death in Newgate, had shown no inclination to confess th crime of which he has been convictcd.:Knowing, as then is reason to believe he does, though the tact has been care fully concealed from him by the prison authorities, tha efforts are being made by the German Society to procure a commutation of the sentence, his reserve occasions no surprise. The impress'on among the authorities is that, if ha confess at all, it will not be until the very last. Yes• torday, again, Mr Sheriff Bexley paid him a visit, as did also the Rev. Mr Walbaum, the minister of the German Chapel, in St. James's, who has spent some time with him daily since his conviction. The convict also attended the service in the chapel. He has always shown a disposition to profit by the religious consolation which has been offered him since he received seutem., but in other respects he has been reserved, cold, and unimpressionable, without in the least, however, being disrespectful to those about him. As early as 7 o'clock yesterday morning the members of the German Legal Protection Society are said to have had a meeting at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury-square, for the purpose of sOttling the draught of the memorial they mean to pre• sent to the Home Secretary. •Before separating the memorial was unanimously adopted, and they resolved to forward it to Sir George Grey on Wednesday morning. In the meantime a Special Committee of. the Society are publishing an elaborate report, describing minutely the whole of the steps they have taken from first to last to clear up what they regard as the mystery attending the murder, and particularly to ascertain the movements of the prisoner about the time of its commission, and how he came into possession of the watch and chain of Mr Briggs. It is, in fact, the whole story of the defence told over again, and embodying besides statements which were not legally ad missible in eviience on the trial, but which they regard as throwing additional light upon the matter, and justifying the course they took in defending him. Adverting to the alibi, they say— " Thu distance from Stanley Cottage was measured, and it was ascertained that, taking into consideration all circum stances—as for instance, the lameness of Muller—it would take 20 to 25 minutes to walk from the house to Camberwell gate. The journey by omnibus to King William-street, after riding at different times and in different omni buses, was found to take 20 to 30 minutes. Therefore, supposing the statements of the Joneses and of Muller in New York to be true, Muller, after having left Stanley Cottage at half-past 9 o'clock, could not have been in King William-street before 10 minutes or a quarter past 10. con sequently could not possibly have been the perpetrator or abettor of the murder in the railway carriage at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock." They relate the following as the account given by Muller himself to a member of their body and to Mr Beard, their solicitor, at the Bow-street police-station on the same evening he arrived in London from New York : " Atter the exchange of some kind words and a solemn exhortation to adhere strictly to the truth, Muller declared that on Saturday evening the Bth of July he had left his friend Haifa at Mr Repsch's house, where he had had tea, and had taken an omnibus at the corner of Fenchurch street and Gracechurch-street for Camberwell. He had been lame at the time in consequence of his having been run over on the Thursday, and therefore wore a red carpet slip per on his right foot. Near the gate he had left the omnibus to walk to a house in George-street, Camberwell, New-road, He declined to give the address of the house. On coming back he had had a glass of ale at a pu')lie house on the left side, before coining to the gate, from the Elephant and Castle, and had entered into conversation with the bar keeper. The house was about 200 yards from the toll-gate, and could bo recognised by its standing for ward and being bounded by two streets. There always were sh)eblack boys in front of it. The bar-keeper was a young man of average size, with dark hair, whis kers, and a beard on his chin. By this description it must be easy to recognise him. After half-past 10, to his belief, he had left Camberwell-gate in an orange omnibus, had ridden to the Monument in King William-street, and walked from there to the Bank, in order to take his omni bus from T.hreadneele-street to Hackney. As it already had left, he had walked home to Old Ford-road, and reached it about half-past 11, His landlady and the other lodgers had already gone to bed. On his way home he did not meet with any friend or acquaintance, nor did he call anywhere. The omnibus from Camberwell to King William• et., con tained besides him four persons—an old gentleman with dark hair and dark whiskers, two young ladies, and a little girl. The conductor was of average height, wore a hat and a long coat which had no buttons at the back. His face was small, dark, and pock-marked ; he wore a white and black chequered neckerchief. When he entered the omnibus, a brown dog, which was flying at a boy in the street opposite the publichouse, caused a crowd." On the all-important subject of the hat, proved at the trial to have been that of Mr Briggs, the committee says : " The hat which had been found in his possession at New York he had bought, between May 14 and 20, at the shop of Mr Digance, for 14s 6d. He remembered the occasion very well, because at the same time, as he used to do at Whitsun tide, he had bought a now suit. The two Repsches must remember this, as they had seen him in his new suit. He left the hat Mathews had bought for him at the shop. The lining of this hat was dark and had blue stripes." In connection with this story, it should be borne in mind that Mr Digance's shopman, of whom the prisoner must have bought the hat, if he bought it there at all, seeing that Mr Diganco never sold him a hat, and that ho has only one shopman, a person who has been with him for the last 12 years, has been confronted pith the prisoner in his cell since his conviction, in the presence of Mr Beard, and that on the one hand Muller failed to recognise him, and on the other the shopman said he had no recollection of havieg seen bim before. The committee proceed to say : " With regard to the watch and chain, Muller declared he had left the house of Mr Repsch at about ten minutes to 8, had gone to Mr Hodgkinson to see Haifa, had not found him (ride the statements of Haifa and Mr Hodgkinson's foreman), and had then immediately gone towards the Lon ion Decks in order to enquire about the time of sailing, and if posAble to take his ticket at the same time. He arrived at the docks at half- past 8. He found a Gorman porter in the office near the ship Victoria, bnt as he could not get his ticket he was about to leave the docks again. About 100 yards from the office, in the passage to tho warehouses, a pedlar offered him a watch and chain for sale. He held these things in his hand, and took some rings and chains and another watch from his coat pocket. The pedlar was of middle height, had a small face with prominent cheek bones, brown whiskers, and close-shaved skin; he had a small cut or scar on his lip, and wore a Melton morning coat. When the things were offered to him for £6 he had only £4 and three halt-crowns in his pocket. The seller of the things refused to accept £4, and Muller went on, but came back on the second thought that the watch and chain must be worth more, because the £4 wers refused by the pedler, and might make a gcod bargain, end offered three halt-crowns-7s 6d— more, The pedlar took the offer. While on his way home, and calculating how by the sale or pawning of the things bought he might make a profit so as to be able to redeem his own watch and chain, which he had pawned some weeks ago iii Whitechapel, and of the value of which—£9—he was fully aware, he was disturbed by the thought that the things bought might be not real gold or valueless. He at once determined to ga to Mr Death's in Cheapside, and by changing the chain as certain its value and that of the watch." The words in italics are so put bp the committee. " After Muller had spent his money in purchasing the watch and chain, he resolved to pawn the chain he had ex changed. He got Ll 10s in the Minories, and sold the ticket to his friend Huffs for 12s. Thus he became possessed of £2 2s. From a mark he thought the watch he bought at the docks a valueble one, and determined to keep it. With the £2 he redeemed his own watch which he had pawned at the Minories, and asked his friend for the loan of £l, in order to redeem the chain also, and then on Wednesday morning pawn both together at the West-end for a higher price. He received £4 in Princes-street, and sold the ticket, as proved, to Glass for £1 ss, The ono pound lent waf deducted. Besidee, he received from Mr Repsch, who owed him £1 2s, 14s; from Mr Mathews, 3s 6d; for a coat he pawned, 6s. With the money thus acquired he bought on Wednesday his passage-ticket for Ll, a mattress for 7s 6d, and paid is porterage. The 12s found upon him at Now York he got by the sale of a coat and a pair of trousers, When asked why, at his arrest at New York, he had cold a lie about the watch, he declared that nothing but the sur prise and fright of the moment, had induced him to do so. With regard to the hat, he said Inspector Clarke mutt be mistaken, as the minutes of his examination at New York could easily prove; only with regard to the watch he had told an untruth." ¶1 hese are the more material parts of a document extend ing over three columns of an ordinary newspaper, and which is described as " Part first," the rest being to follow, BREAXPAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of hommopathy was first introduced iuto this country, there were to be obtiined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epi 8, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his at entiOn to this subject, and at length ho succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pm e in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it rcz,eives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Eppa's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. De.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—TITESDAY, Seven events, five of which, wo are sorry to say, were over the T.Y.C., are quite enough at this time of year, and the Hurdle Race commenced the proceedings at 1430.

The favourite, Lion —a fine Virindhound colt, who ran the Duke very closely at York—had the best of it from the first; though the Imogene filly managed to got within a head of him at the post, and would probably have passed him in another stride or tiro.

CATS FOR CENTRAL AliEßlcA.—About a dczsn years since the newspapers chronicled as a fact (provocative of especial wonder) the enterprise of a New York merchant who had exported a c,rgo of 100 cats to New Grenada, where, it would appear, the race had become extinct, owing probably to the uninterruptedly disturbed state of that wretched republic. In 1850 the rats were so plentiful and so destructive, and cats were so very so very scarce in Cali fotnia, that 26 dollars were the ardinery price paid for one: Sales of this kind we have frequently 'witnessed in San Francisco,—New York Home Journal, Madrid Cadiz I SECOND EDITION.

The Court granted the adjournment, and Mr &Bea added that the captain was quite exonerated from all blame. "M.

This augmentation ap pears to be necessary to the undertaking." SUPPOSED MURDER AT BOULOGNE.—BOULOGNE SUR-MER, Nov. 7.—Abont 7 o'clock this morning, as a workmaa employed in the erection of a new bridg across the river Lianno, for the use of the 13ou1ogne and Calais Railway. was pursuing his avocation, he became aware of the body of a child lying in the bed of the river close to the temporary bridge. The water was at this time very low and clear. He immediately called some of his fellow workmen to his assistance, and got the bocy out on the bank, whence it was transported, under the care of the police, to the deadhouse of the Hospital of St. Louis, where it was left for identification. About twelve o'clock at noon the body of another child-was discovered in the pool of water in the Arriere Port, and immediately withdrawn thence, and also taken to the deadhouse at the hospital. On the body being placed alongside the other previously brought in it was evident that they were brothers. There were no external marks of violence visible on either of the bodies. The oldest appears to be between eight and nine yeare:of age, 31t. 3in. high, fair, complexion, red hair, gray eyes, straight nose, small wel.-formed mouth; does not appear to have much colour in the cheeks. He had on a black jacket, dark gray trousers, a white calico shirt, Nith a narrow lilac and pink stripe alternately, a purple and black plaid flannel shirt underneath, Magenta striped, white woollen stockings, shoes much worn, brown silk cravat, brown woollen gloves with red cuffs, and a black patent leathern belt, with a brass buckle, bear ing the Austra lian coat of arms, with the motto. "Advance Australia." The younger child appears to be between four and five years of age, is a good-looking round-featured boy, and has had rosy cheeks ; he is 2ft. 9in. high, light curly hair, blue eyes, straight nose, small well-formed mouth, forehead fair and well developed. He had on a white diiper pinafore, light blue and white merino petticoat with two broad brown flounce stripes, a check linen under-petticoat, a flannel ditto with two tucks, white calica trousers with pearl edging, red socks, repaired redd sh ish oesb lilac wooll en m i t t en gloves, hblack cuff, d a brown overjacket. There are wit n no peculiar marks on the clothes. The caps or hats have not beer found as yet. The report of the finding of the children was soon bruited about, and the police were very active in a t n a m well Leduc, ho i n making inquiries into the:probable cause o f d ea th. I n a very hasshort la time tely r i e t s w i d a e s din ascertained London, t d w ahnonamed i s Ld kn uocw, nthat Boulogne, having a wife residing in the Rue de Bras d'Or, arrived in the Albert Edward from Folkestone at 4,30 p,m. yesterday (Sund a y) , an d on l eav i ng the packet went into the passenger s ' wa i t i ng -room under the Chambre do Commerce with two little boys and his baggage, consist ing of a good hatbox, a nearly new brown leathern portman teau cordei with a r o p e , an d a carpet-bag of a green ground and dark brown s t r ip e . The party stayed in the room warm ing themselves by the fire, and Leduc conversed freely with the Customhouse officers who were there. He told them that he was going to place the children at a school about eight leagues from Boulogne. He left the Customhouse with the children about 7 o'clock in the evening, and was no uioi seen until late in the night, when he went to visit his wit() in the Rue do Bras d'Or, and slept there all night, It is supposed that he left for Eugland by the Folkestone boat at 2 30 p.m. to-day (Monday), or he may have gone to Calais, or indeed elsewhere. At all events, M. Brayer, the very active Commissioner of Police in Boulogne, is using every exertion to find him, and the police are on the alert in every direction. M. Brayer has telegraphed to London, Folkestone, Dover, Calais, and other places in France, wilh the following description of Leduc :—lle is of small stat ure thin face, blown hair, small reoustache,:and wears a detle brown paletot, ditto trousers (ragged at the bottom) a broad-brimmed, low, dark or black • Jim Crow hat. The children seemed to have belonged to the better Clete of artie ens.
